This calculator uses 7 different equations that are in use today to calculate a 1RM.

Calculate your estimated One Rep Max based on how many repetitions you performed at a given weight.

Calculate the number of reps you should be able to get at any given weight, knowing your 1RM. Note: Lombardi and O’Conner et al. are very high estimates for some weights given the nature of their equation. I would not consider these accurate.

Feels like i have lost some of that explosiveness and cant find a groove on the lifts. need to drill them more often (if not daily in warmup)
